Q: Which areas of my home are at risk for mold?

• <div><p>Unfortunately, mold can grow pretty much anywhere, on any kind of surface. However, you&rsquo;re most likely to see it in damp areas like basements or bathrooms, as well as anywhere there has been a water leak. Consult a local mold specialist to determine if certain areas of your home are prone to mold based on climate and other factors.</p></div>

Q: Are slab leaks common?

• <div><p>Yes, slab leaks are fairly common, especially in older homes and places that are prone to earthquakes which can move home foundations. </p></div>

Q: What causes a basement to smell musty?

• <div><p>Mold and mildew are the things in basements that actually cause the musty odors, but moisture is the underlying issue that causes mold and mildew growth. Addressing moisture and water problems and then removing materials that are moldy are some of the best ways to get rid of the musty odors. Preventive measures after that&mdash;like installing air fresheners and a dehumidifier&mdash;can help keep musty odors from returning.</p></div>

Q: Is a walkout basement below grade?

• <div><p>A walkout basement is considered to be partially below grade because at least one wall is entirely exposed. In some cases and in specific municipalities, inspectors and appraisers will still count walkout basements as below grade, which means the space can&rsquo;t serve as living space or be rented out. If you intend on using the area as living space or a separate apartment, you should check with your local building department to make sure it&rsquo;s legal to do so.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take for water to cause structural damage?

• <div><p>Water can seep into porous materials like wood beams, floor joists, and roof rafters within minutes, but they&rsquo;ll need to see prolonged exposure before you have structural damage. Mold can start growing within 24 hours, and mold can eat away at the structural components over time. Wood rot is more of a concern, though. Wet and dry rot are fungal infections that set in in moist conditions and rapidly deteriorate wood, causing major structural damage within just a few months in some cases.</p></div>

They did a great job of clearing out our basement of 50+ years of accumulated stuff. It seemed an impossible job, they finished it in a day. We called them back a month later to clear out a garage and 2 storage sheds. Again, they did a great job. Would highly recommend them!
